[@M.J.212]

A cult of personality, or a cult of the leader, is the result of an effort which is made to create an idealized and heroic image of a glorious leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Historically, it has developed through techniques of mass media, propaganda, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies. What is the narcissist cult of personality? The narcissist claims to be infallible, superior, talented, skilful, omnipotent, and omniscient. He often lies and confabulates to support these unfounded claims. Within his cult, he expects awe, admiration, adulation, and constant attention commensurate with his outlandish stories and assertions. What are four characteristics of malignant narcissism? Signs and symptoms of malignant narcissism Exaggerated sense of self-importance. Lack of empathy. Manipulative behavior like charm, flattery, or deceit. Aggression, including emotional abuse, verbal abuse, or even physical violence. Believe other people are conspiring against them. Derive pleasure from other peoples' pain. When the Narcissist Fails A cautionary examination of how narcissists react to failure. They will falsely claim that everything is fine and that there is nothing wrong. They will try to first misdirect us or claim there is nothing to the allegations or circumstances. If evidence is presented, they will seek to have it invalidated or claim that it is false, fake, or a product of vague conspiracies, but most certainly not true. Any evidence presented, and those that present it will be attacked aggressively and vindictively. The better the evidence, the more aggressive the attack. Individuals who are doing the right thing by reporting criminal acts, unethical behavior, or failings are to be discredited, humiliated, hounded, and bullied-not even their families are to be spared if need be.➡️ The narcissist will engage supporters or enablers to simultaneously attack those who offer proof or evidence, even if it embarrassingly exposes their poodle-like behavior as that of spineless sycophants.⬅️ 🫵

[@M.J.212]

What is false logical equivalence? False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence does not bear scrutiny because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors. Tu Quoque ("You Do it Too!"; also, Two Wrongs Make a Right): A corrupt argument from ethos, the fallacy of defending a shaky or false standpoint or excusing one's own bad action by pointing out that one's opponent's acts, ideology or personal character are also open to question, or are perhaps even worse than one's own. Why do kids deflect? We first learn deflection as children, when we lie about our actions to avoid getting in trouble, and this is actually a normal part of development. As adults, we can use deflection either consciously or unconsciously, and, in general, we deflect because we don't want to feel bad and take a blow to our self-esteem. What is an example of a rationalizing behavior? Examples of Rationalization Minimizing the situation (“It's really not that bad.”) Making excuses (“I didn't have enough time anyways.”) Blaming others (“It happened because they didn't do their work on time.”) Making comparisons (“What I did isn't as bad as what someone else did.”)

I pray and ask God for Michael Cohen to be calm, clear, and truthful about everything he asked. I ask God to allow his testimony to serve as the backdrop of justice, and that he has the mindset to communicate in a way the jury can trust. If Donald Adultery Trump is guilty of any crimes, allow these to be known and a peace to come over Cohen as he tells his side of this story. We, the real people, seek the truth, and if it means Trump is guilty, then let it be, if Trumps not guilty then let it be. I pray and ask God to stop any violence by these false witnesses on the far right. Our country has seen enough violence out of the MAGAs.

You mean retribution trials as promised by Trump. Btw: there is not the least indication that these trials are politically motivated. Ask yourself why so many Republicans and former Trump co-workers testify against him. You don't believe it yourself that they were all hired by Biden.

The last thing you want to do is put a compulsive lier on the stand in court where he would more then likely commit perjury.

Is that the same person who was found to have been a "creditable witness" by the last judge he appeared before? Unlike the current defendant, who is too frightened to testify?

The only compulsive liar is Trump, son. 40,000 documented lies according to the Washington post.

[@jgamble482]

This is too logical for anyone in trump's orbit. To them the truth is a lie and a lie is the truth. He will get on the stand and not only dig himself a hole, but he will also implicate others and push them under a moving freight train, not a moving bus.

They have to lay out what the scope of the law is because the people on the jury likely haven't been to law school. So they need to know what the law is in plain language in order to make a judgement. That's a normal part of court proceedings.

[@user-zb7uh2ob1r]

I'm surprised that so many people have been surprised that Michael Cohen is not yelling and cussing. I've seen him on his Mea Culpa show, and he CAN do that. He's really mad at trump; who wouldn't be? But he knows appropriate behavior in a courtroom and is simply telling the truth. Not a surprise. I hope this thing is over soon. Mostly this trial, but also the absurd reign of trump we've suffered under for way too long.

Ask yourself why his former lawyer isn’t testifying for Trump. But, instead he is in DC saying what Cohen told him. The Jury doesn’t care about what he says to Congress.
